Times tables
Times tables practice from 1 to 20, from 8 × 1 to 9 × 18 = 162: a page per table, division facts for 1 to 10, in groups that end in a mixed round.

Why it matters
The times tables are the facts that multiplication and division turn on. A child who still has to work out 7 × 8 soon loses track in a bigger sum. If your child knows straight away that it is 56, their attention stays on the rest of the sum. At school, children are expected to know their tables up to 12 × 12, and in England they sit the Multiplication Tables Check: 25 questions on a screen, with 6 seconds for each.
The division facts belong with them: 56 ÷ 8 is the same knowledge, asked the other way round. That is why each table from 1 to 10 has its division facts on the same page. The tables from 11 to 20 come later and build on the first ten: 14 × 6 is 10 × 6 plus 4 × 6. Beyond 12, they go further than school asks.
How to approach it
The order starts with the easiest: first 1, 2 and 10, then 3, 4 and 5, then 6, 7, 8 and 9. Each of these three groups ends with a mixed round, so your child can not only recite a table in order but also recall each fact on its own.
Many tables borrow from each other. The 4 times table is double the 2 times table, the 5 times table is half the 10 times table, and 9 times a number is 10 times that number minus the number once. Point these links out to your child; there turn out to be far fewer separate facts than it seems.
